Theresa’s Vision

As the Ward 6 Council Member, I will advocate and work tirelessly for an effective and efficient city government benefiting all residents. A city government that strives to improve and enhance City services while being financially prudent will be one of my highest priorities. I will be an independent voice, acting and leading with strength and integrity, while listening to and understanding the constituent needs and requests.

Top Priorities

Enhance Public Safety - Fire and Police - decrease response times by increasing staffing numbers, pragmatically understand the impact that consequences of unhealthy choices (i.e. drug overdose , petty theft, defamation of property) have on fire and police efficiency and efficacy.

Effective care for the unhoused including mental health and substance abuse treatment programs, increase outreach to improve awareness of options to combat the causes of homelessness while helping individuals with their basic needs

Fix our roads - too many unsafe, poorly paved roads.
